Chapter 40: Fatton's Battle for Survival

I have to say that scandals spread faster than anything else.
As soon as he returned to Charlotte, Li Ke received a call from Li’s father and mother.
"Ah? That Sharapova? No, that's a misunderstanding, Dad!"
Li Ke called out, but on the other end of the phone, Li's father whispered: "It's either serious or just having fun? I understand, then this way, when your mother asks, you will tell your mother that you two have broken up..."
Then, Lion Roar on the other side of the phone: "It's only been a few days since we broke up? You are a big boss, it's time to find a wife. This time the news spread to China, I thought you were enlightened."
The tone was full of disappointment and regret.
“…”
“…”
Li Ke was speechless and hung up the phone. He could only be glad that his father and mother were thousands of miles away from him, so he could only talk on the phone.
As for the scandal between him and Sharapova, it was just a scandal. After reporting it for three or two days, the tabloid could no longer find anything.
The reason why you can't dig something is very simple. Li Ke and Sharaba don't even have a phone call. How can you dig? Is it digging in the void?
Seeing that the tabloids could not be dug out, the enthusiasm of the tabloids greatly reduced, and the matter was gone.
Li Ke also felt quite regretful. To be honest, this matter was a bit bloody. He originally hoped that this matter could continue to be bloody.
But helplessly, after listening to Sharapova's description, he really had no idea at all.
"The road to breaking chu is a long way to go!"
...
After the Christmas War, Li Ke naturally became depressed.
The opponent in this game is the Heat without Dwayne Wade and Shaquille O'Neal. Even though Li Ke had only made 4 of 20 shots, the Bobcats still won the game, surprisingly winning the five-game winning streak.
This sudden recovery is surprising. Boss Qiao even believes that the Bobcats have hope for the playoffs.
After all, they are Eastern teams, and their winning rate of about 50% can ensure a playoff spot.
Now, after five consecutive victories, the Bobcats' record has turned into 11 wins and 15 losses, which doesn't look that bad.
This made Boss Qiao firmly believe his idea: continue to let Sheldon fire infinitely!
He no longer wants to playoffs this season, but if he can use the unlimited firepower to build up Li Ke, then this season will be successful.
Boss Qiao felt that he was not far from success.
However, there are still worries that coexist with success.
What he encountered at the Wizards was a bit like it was going to happen again-
The accounting firm hired by Robert Johnson came to the door and was checking the accounts. It is expected that a result will come after December.
Boss Joe is different from Robert Johnson. He has been running this team without accounting firms. He can probably know whether the team is profitable or lossy.
There is no doubt about the dismal attendance rate of Time Warner Center, it is just a loss! And it is still losing a lot.
In this case, Boss Qiao was already raising money at the right time. He knew that if this continued, Robert Johnson would have to withdraw his shares.
Then Robert Johnson's 70% stake can only be taken over.
Whether other people in the outside world are interested, Boss Qiao doesn't know, he only knows that this 70% of the equity cannot be taken away by others
No matter who takes away this 70% of the equity, the first thing is to hold a shareholders' meeting and deprive Lao Qiao of his operating rights.
Obviously, the team's operating rights are Lao Qiao's bottom line, and he doesn't want to lose it, nor can he lose it.
Just when Boss Joe was mixed, the Bobcats were about to face off against the Indiana Pacers, which would be held in Indianapolis, which would be a away game.
When Boss Qiao thought of being able to show off in front of Larry Bird, he was so happy.
Li Ke is now the pride of Boss Qiao. Li Ke is not wrong with anything priceless.
Every time Li Ke performs amazingly, Boss Qiao will call Larry Bird, and then be hung up every time.
Even so, Boss Qiao was still happy.
This time it’s different, the phone can’t be reached? Then I’ll go to the scene!
When the Bobcat team gathered at the airport and boarded the special plane, the cabin door was not closed and the plane did not take off for a long time.
This wait took half an hour.
Fatton, who had gradually lost patience, complained: "Coach, please ask me why you haven't taken off yet!"
"We're one person short?"
"Is there one person missing? No way, I counted it, it's obvious that they all came!"
Lao Du made a guess: "Maybe it was a reporter with the team or a physiotherapist on the team?"
Sam Vincent didn't answer, as if he had made a promise.
So Fei Dun said wildly: "If I know who it is, I will tear him up!"
Then, Boss Qiao, wearing sunglasses, bent down and appeared at the hatch door.
He swept around the cabin without saying a word, and his eyes seemed to be on Fei Dun's body for a while.
Although his eyes were hidden behind his sunglasses, Fei Dun still felt cold all over.
Like most of his teammates, Li Ke glanced at Fei Dun with a little pity.
But soon he knew that his pity was really redundant at this moment—
After the plane took off, Lao Qiao formed a game and skillfully played cards. Fei Du and Lao Du joined, and Lao Du even urged Li Ke:
"Sheldon, do you have no subjects to accompany your boss to entertain in China? There should be some?"
Li Ke still shook his head and refused, and he accompanied the boss to entertain him? Stop joking!
He finally made a little money and then exported it with just a few cards? Can he accept this?
That is certainly unacceptable.
But Li Ke watched for a while and soon discovered that it was an illusion for accompanying the boss to entertain the boss. Fei Du, Lao Du, Derek Anderson, the group of people who love to play clearly cooperated to kill big players!
He threw out a lot of US dollars, but Lao Qiao didn't feel any pain at all, and his face was still full of excitement.
Li Ke only felt regretful for a while. If he had known this would have been the ending, he would have followed!
After about two hours of flight, the bobcat arrived in Indianapolis. When he got off the plane, Fei Dun was already holding nearly 20,000 US dollars in his hand.
The more Li Ke looked at Lao Qiao, the more he regretted it. His eyes looked at Lao Qiao, and he became more and more scarlet.
Fortunately, when he arrived at the airport, Lao Qiao and the Bobcat parted ways.
He contacted Larry Bird and wanted to meet in Bird's apartment, and then headed to the home court of the Pacers, Conseco Arena.
On the way, Lao Qiao was excited to imagine how he could reasonably lead Li Ke after meeting Bird, and then hype him up. Finally, he took all the credits on himself reasonably.
In this way, everything was planned. When he arrived at the place he had made an appointment, Old Qiao met Larry Bird as he wished.
"Hey, Larry, you guy, why don't you answer the phone I call you these days?"
Sitting down face to face, lit a cigar, and a glass of red wine. Old Joe's first words were sprinkled with salt on Larry Bird's wound.
Bird looked blank: "You know, some of the NBA's phone calls cannot be answered, Michael, you have to get used to it."
As soon as this was said, Old Qiao frowned: "Why should I get used to it? And Larry, why don't you answer my phone?"
"Because I don't know why you called? Maybe you want to have a deal with me?"
"trade?"
"Yes, when it comes to deals, Sheldon is really good. I can trade Jermaine for him if you want."
Jermaine O'Neal changed Li Ke alone. Old Joe didn't take this deal to heart. He thought Bird was making a joke. Instead, he smiled: "Larry, now you should admit that you have taken a blind eye, right?"
"Yes, I admit it, but the fact is, even if I took the right look, the Pacers' draft picks won't reach Sheldon because your Bobcats were worse last year!"
This is to mock the bobcat under Old George for being rotten.
Old Qiao still smiled and shook his head: "So what, Charlotte has a bright future."
“Don’t Indiana do not?”
The Pacers this season are not much different from the Bobcats. Danny Granger leads the team, and his scoring data is not much different from Li Ke. His shooting percentage is much higher, but his defense is much worse. Overall, he and Li Ke are Lu Benwei.
The Bobcats and Pacers have little difference in their performance, both of whom are about to enter the playoffs but are not allowed to enter.
Lao Qiao thinks Li Ke is the future of the Bobcats, and Bird can of course regard Danny Granger, who has higher scoring efficiency, as the future.
Old Qiao stopped talking. In terms of drafts, Bird has indeed had more successful cases than him.
But Larry Bird repeated the deal: "I'm serious, how about Jermaine for Sheldon?"
Old Qiao sneered: "You want to cheat me, Larry."
Larry Bird also sneered, and then said seriously:
"It's so unfortunate that you can see it, but I'm selling Jermaine, it's true, and you're selling Emecca."
Old Qiao nodded, as if thinking seriously: "I will consider it."
I just talked about it, and the topic was completely aside.
Old Joe was also very depressed. Larry Bird admitted it too simply. He was not happy and everything was over.
However, there are still opportunities, after all, the game has not started yet.
...
In the evening, the Conseco Arena was brightly lit, and the players were ready to play in the Bobcats' locker room.
"I have warned you that Michael is on the scene in this game. He will watch you and fight with the Pacers, show some real skills and tell Michael that his team is as hard as iron and the Pacers can't break through!"
Sam Vincent's chicken soup skills have been improving. Boss Qiao is watching the game on the spot, giving him a reason.
Li Ke didn't feel anything, but he saw Fei Dun clenching his fists.
I smiled in my heart: Raymond, Raymond, it’s time for you to work hard, it’s not easy to get 20,000 US dollars!
Not to mention, Fei Dun also claimed to tear up Boss Qiao.
Chapter completed!
